Good posts re last nights game. Everyone has something solid in their accounts but it seems we are not over reacting. yet. Dundee away was always going to be tough. At Celtic Park they showed they had a system that troubled us, i suspect they caught us on the hop last night by playing much the same way.

Our main problem right now is LG. This is not criticism but he is going through one of those spells every striker has, he needs one to bang in off his ass just get it over the line. He will be back i have no doubt.

I posted that Broony had me worried, nothing last night changed my mind. He looks like the old gunslinger in a western being sized up by younger outlaws. For weeks i have watched him being robbed in the middle and causing us problems with three or four breaking on us. has he got it in him to come back? Over thirty and a few injuries? My heart says yes.

Overall i thought we deserved the win, though Dundee would claim they should have scored and it would be hard to argue. Already painted in the media as a point dropped it might turn out to be a vital point gained in the run in. I have always thought v the sheepies at home was the big one. Nothing has really changed.

GJ I actually think our goalie secured a point for us last night with a string of half decent saves compared to the Dundee goalie who I can't really rember having to do much . I agree with you about Griffiths who hopefully is just temporary off the boil because there's nobody there to fill his boots . Whoever sanctioned the signings of Cole, Kazim Richards and Ciftci needs to have a word with themselves another thing that puzzles me is the sudden dissapearance over the last few months of Izzy who if not playing should be on bench or even play with KT alternating on left side . Still 5 points ahead so Friday and Saturday should be really interesting.

Imo the big problem we have is playing three defensive mids while playing two wingers to feed a small striker . e need a playmaker desperately and an alternative to griffiths (who was awful last night) as we can't just depend on him for a whole season . finally well done the youngsters some of who deserve a outing in first team . Hendry. Hill Higgins aitchyson . mcilduff miller mcart kellehar who have all looked good anytime I've seen them and younger ones plain their part and looking good as well.

The main problem is Leigh Griffiths! Don't make me laugh how about the fact that if LG doesn't score there's nobody else who can step up and chip in with a few! Never midfielders who don't score. We don't even have another striker who can chip in with goals! So I would suggest that is more of the problem than LG! On another note is the manager having a laugh trying to put a positive spin on things suggesting a clean sheet against Dundee was positive! I don't care what their league position suggests Dundee fc are along with Hamilton and Utd one of the 3 poorest teams in the league and we have played them twice in the last few weeks and failed to score a single goal against them! Ronnie also suggested we are in control of our own destiny and won't give up our title without a fight what kind of talk is that! Of course we should be in control of our own destiny with 6 games to go. In fact with our resources we should almost be over the line but the fact is we now have to go to fir park and get three points and I for one am not confident will do it although I pray we do! I think ronnies expectations and the fans are miles apart and I hope to god we can fall over the line and win this title then clear out the inept management team along with some of the mediocre players.

Did you read post right before replying. . I said the problem was three Def mids and two wigs trying to feed griffiths a small striker . I then said we can't depend on just him . no criticism apart from he was rubbish last night.

My reply was to Green Jhedi DRB. I hadn't read your post mate at the time I wrote my reply.

Well you jumped in early mate. Did i say LG was the answer to to ALL our ails? Surely its obvious if he is the only striker and he, at the moment, can't hit a cows ass with a banjo, then that's a problem? His touch is also poor just now resulting in no hold up from him.

Green Jhedi I understand what you're saying mate but you state LG's loss of form is the main problem and I disagree with that! I agree he's went off the boil the past few games but the point I'm making is a players form can dip and that is where others have to step in and take responsibility of scoring. We don't have that anywhere! Strikers or midfielders so for me that is the problem not the fact that LG has gone off the boil! We can't expect him to score all our goals.

Aye things are desperate L G has gone 3 yes ( three) whole matches without scoring Like Brown the man is too old, old age and having 3/ 4 children has blunted his movement and control of his balls . Bad management by R D to allow his captain and main striker to go off the boil at the same time .
Maybe we should go back to having strikers that don't put their balls in the sack😄😀.
